?+134 = (61/4)+(97/3)+(51/4)×(120/17) Let the number be x.
= 61/4)+(97/3)+90=(183+388+1080)/12 = Then, x×(30/100)×(2/5)×(1/4) = 15
1651/12 Or, x=(15×5×4×100)/60 = 500
? = (1651/12)-(53/4) = (1651-159)/12 = Now, 22% of 500 = (20×500)/100 = 110
1492/12
= 124×(4/12) = 124×(1/3)=41.34 99). Answer is option b
? = 1/7.99 of 2/2.99 of 3.01/5 of 1715
93). Answer is option a Appx. = 85
?= (∛1728) ×(∛274625)×( ∛250047)
= 12×65×63= 49140 100). Answer is option b
?=(67/3) × (435/100) –(11/7) ×(1735/100)
94). Answer is option c =(97-27)
(27% of 7690)-(18% of 5510)=? =70 ~ 69
= (2076.3 – 991.8) = 1084.5
